Next Saturday, November 22, I will be giving two talks at the 18th Annual Freedom Seminar in Portland, Oregon. My two talks are titled, "The Case for Free Trade and Against Barrierism" and "The Paulson Bailout: Bush's Road to Serfdom." The other presenter is economist/historian Jeff Hummel, whose two talks are "Why Fractional Reserve Banking is More Libertarian than the Gold Standard" and "The Non-Recession of 2008: An Overblown Crisis and Unnecessary Bailout."

Students may apply for zero-price admission.
